"Ask Yourself"

F#m                                           A         D
Well I've tried to live like the way that you wanted me to.
      F#m        E           Dbm          D
Never needed the proof, just followed the rules.
F#m                                    A       D
I pick up all the pieces and I move my feet as fast as I can.
           F#m       E          Dbm          D
I'm always falling behind, just float in the lines.
F#m                                    A       D
You want more and ambition's taken its toll on you.
              F#m  E               Dbm       D
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth.

D                A                               D
And you say that dreamers always get what they desire.
                     A
Well I've found, the more I want the less I've got.
   D                                        A
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
                              D                                       A
Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more?

F#m                    D
You're coughing blood again.
                 F#m          E          Dbm     D
I know because I clean up the mess every now and then.
F#m
Fold the line along the seam.
                        D
Force a smile and never say what you mean.
              F#m      E               Dbm    D
You're in the promised land in someone else's dream.
F#m
If you want more and you'll get there.
                       D
Throw a quarter in the well.
      F#m         E        Dbm           D
It's okay, you're fine, ambition's not a crime.

D                A                               D
And you say that dreamers always get what they desire.
                          A
Well I've found, that the more I want the less I've got.
   D                                        A
Is this the life you've been waiting for.
                              D                                       A
Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more?

Well ask yourself.
